My tailplane declections are perfect.
I got Ss because I was careless!
My fault - plane is perfect!
I have completed so far about 100 landings
and no difficulties at all. My most demanding
landing was so far in Endealave during fly-inn
three weeks ago. Wind was 24G38, headwind,
grass runway, lenght 600 metres. Stefan Ingemarsson
---From Sweden did it also succesfully.
Wishes, Raimo
